Not sure what to say?

This is very late. I only just found out Shawn was no longer with us. I live a long way away in Australia. I corresponded with Shawn via email from 2016 to 2018; I still have all the emails. We talked about magic, shared illnesses, mushrooms, dogs, food, and, of course, Snug. He stopped emailing me in 2018, and I tried to rekindle that connection many times. I bought many items from him, but it went beyond the commercial; we grew to have a very good e-friendship. Now that I know what...

Hello and My Condolences to Shawn Evans Family. The obituary reading paints a picture of the Man we at Sears became to know and Love. During the Obama Presidential Election and Win, I put together a Ingural Party at My home and Shawn, My Manger and Respected Friend was the Magic for the Night.

Although I never met Shawn in person, we had several lively email exchanges for a few years. I was just a hobbyist card magician, but Shawn treated me as if I were an expert

to help me improve my magic. His insights were both technical and aimed
at making a trick entertaining and not just puzzling.

We both watched the Penn & Teller TV show, and we had fun working together to

I am sorry for your loss. Shawn sounds like he was a great guy. I am a third cousin who would have loved to have met him. I and the rest of my immediate cousins and brothers through Francis Evans my grandfather have met far too few of 2nd and 3rd cousins. My condolences to his daughter and step daughter and rest of his family. God bless your family in this difficult time.

Shawn was my son's honorary grandfather and true grandfather to my nephew Cruse. My son met Shawn just recently in July and loved his magic. A class act, gentle and enjoyed bringing happiness to others. I wish Cruse had more time with his g'pa but my son has stories to tell that will keep Shawn alive. Enjoy finding heavenly mushrooms my friend, please watch over us closely.
